Pure journalists, especially editors, have very little control over how their content is read, understood, or distributed. That's a main takeaway after reading the Pew Research Center’s “State of the News Media.”
The Pew report noted that most people who read news content electronically, especially on mobile devices, come to that content through third-party sources like social media.
University of Maryland faculty member Chris Harvey finds some depressing news in the report for traditional news people.
The challenge for news professionals is to display their content on a mobile-friendly device while at the same time providing the widest variety of news choices. And it would be nice to get the kind of ad revenue that Facebook racks up daily too.
